Problems and errors when using SP Flash Tool

Link on this subject in Russian

Modes of the virtual COM ports

In case of problems in operation with SPFT it is useful to listen to a sound on PC and to open a Device Manager. The sound signals about connection and switch-off of devices and the Device Manager shows a mode of the virtual port and information on drivers. If with drivers everything is all right, devices appear in the section Ports (COM & LPT) and the icon of the device shan't be marked by exclamation point ! in a yellow surrounding.

Modes of the VCOM:

BOOTROM (in device manager show as MTK USB Port with pid=003) . For connection in this mode can it is required :

to use press of some phone buttons (photo, volume up or down ) at the same time with connection of a cable to PC (phone shall be switched off)

or to use OTG adapter

or, if it didn't turn out 1 and 2, use a test point.

PRELOADER (...MediaTek USB VCOM Port with pid=2000 ) This port appears for only some seconds in case of connection of switched-off phone to PC

DA_HIGHSPEED (...MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port with pid=2001)This port can appear after phone at first will be connected in the PRELOADER or BOOTROM mode.

How to swith off DA Download All mode

Sometimes DA Download All mode switching off helps not to have errors with MTD type a flash. In the last FT versions it can't be made of the menu, it is necessary to change the platform.xml file. It is necessary to change in section of your platform usb_download_support and da_dl_all_support keys with "true" to "false"

View attachment 1791383

After these changes it is necessary to connect a cable to PC, having waited the ends of counting.

View attachment 1791397

ERRORS:

(2005) S_BROM_CMD_STARTCMD_FAIL often there is on phones with MTD type a flash.

During Downloading preloader or dsp_bl aren't marked. To use the suitable version of SPFT or to switch off the DA download All mode.

During Downloading preloader or dsp_bl are marked. Not mark these blocks! Or connect phone in the BOOTROM mode if it is necessary to Download them.

During reading, formatting or ROM-RAM testing. Сonnect phone in the BOOTROM mode.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mawe79:
Hey Rua1,

2 small questions:

1. why does Droid Tools only sometimes ask to port the cwm-r?

2. why does Droid Tools only sometimes ask to type in the phone name?

Do not really understand why only sometimes. Does it depends on the phone?

Or?!?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rua1:
@Mawe79

It depends on that, phone is connected to the program now or not. If it isn't connected, asks to enter a name of phone and to give cwm-r file from similar phone . If it is connected, suggests to make cwm-r automatically since for this purpose there are all data from phone.

Hi rua1 ,

I have set the device drivers on DA_HIGHSPEED VCOM port also but still no luck... :(

But whenever i connect my phone to the computer using normal USB cable i get USB VCOM Preloader in device manager appear for 2 seconds and then disappear

And when i connect the phone through OTG cable the device is listed as MTK USB Port.

I have tried all versions of flashing tool and different drivers. I am able to communicate to my phone using ADB commands too, I don't know what seems to be the problem.

But i am able to read back using SP Flash tool and prepare scatter file using your MTK Droid tools.

Thanks again for helping me out..!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rua1:
yes, if it is simple to connect a cable and not to use SPFT. If to use SPFT it then itself in certain cases switches phone in the DA_HIGHSPEED mode and if drivers on this port aren't set, he won't find phone.

it has been a long time i klick thanks, but this is my first post on this thread.

thanks for your great tool and thanks for your joining to xda. i don't have to use google translate anymore.

here i want to ask one question:

Can I use the tool to root phone other than MTK? I ask this because i see your tool can identify phone info other than MTK as long as the adb can access the phone.

and i want to give a suggestion.

The rule i always use when flashing a phone is: "Don't touch the boot unless the custom recovery has been running well without error." IMHO, i think mtk droid tools should offer to flash the recovery only. Flashing boot should be on its own button.

(its just my humble oppinion)

v2.4.4

v2.4.4​

Сhanges:

it is possible to set either SuperUser, or SuperSU

the algorithm of analysis of pmt tables is changed. Tables with 64 bit addresses shall be understood

scatter file can make from pmt file, for example __ nodl_pmt from a backup. It is added to the same button where was made of firmware.info. Phone shall be disconnected from the program!

adb v1.0.26 include. With v1.0.31 for some person doesn't work correctly

url links in a window of a log became clickable. They open in the default browser.

in the course of receiving root shell if set SuperUser is found and busybox isn't set, it is set

the case of a choice of SD card for a backup on phones with emmc type a flash is corrected

from the recovery mode now it is impossible to write boot and recovery since it often leads to incorrect results

the MTKdroidTools.ini file is created when program start.There it is possible to change value of keys. While there only two keys also are comments to them. For normal use of the program to change nothing it is necessary.

v2.4.5​

Hi guys,

I bought a generic chinese tablet from eBay - identical to THIS one. I've managed to get it rooted using Kingroot, but I'm struggling to get MTK Droid Tools to recognise it.

I've followed countless guides and installed loads of different ADB drivers, but it still says "The device isn't revealed". What is interesting is that when I launch an ADB terminal from within Droid Tools, my device is not recognised:

If I launch a separate ADB terminal, the device is recognised:

I tried replacing the ADB files in MTK DT with the working ones but then I get the error that "It's impossible to start adb".

Any suggestions as to what is going on here?

[MENTION=266152]crumble[/MENTION]

If you open command dos prompt and use adb program after that you have to type

adb kill-server

to close the adb server that otherwise remain running.

If you are using MTKdroid (please use MTKdroid 2.5.3) it try to use its adb.exe available in its subfolder.

And if you try to use an older version (like included in MTkdroid subfolder) you get "out of date" message).

The latest android platform tool compatible with MTKdroid is version 1.22.

Note: to sue MTkdroid you should always have USB debug (Settings - developer menu) enabled.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crumble6:
Thanks.

I solved the problem by checking the version of adb (1.0.31) included with MTKdroid and re-downloading that version. Replaced the files in the folder and worked like a charm. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
[MENTION=266152]crumble[/MENTION]

1.0.31 is not the version. All version are identified as 1.0.31.

You should downlaod android platform tools.

The latest version compatible with MTKDroid is v. 1.0.22.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crumble6:
[MENTION=637263]bovirus[/MENTION]

Sorry, I'm very new to this sort of stuff. I always root my devices but generally they are flagships and recently it's much less trouble than this. I was just using the "adb version" command. The one that was incompatible with MTKDroid returned the value 1.0.32, whereas the one bundled with the software returned 1.0.31. Googling "adb 1.0.31" and replacing the files in the MTKDroid folder seemed to fix it.

My issue now is that I'm stuck with Kingroot and getting random reboots since rooting. I'm trying to flash a custom recovery so that I can flash SuperSU. I've tried installing SuperSU and updating the binary from within the app but it keeps failing - presumably because the tablet is running lollipop 5.1. Another issue is that I don't have any physical volume buttons, so I need either a version of CWM that supports navigating the menus with short presses of the power button, or a touch recovery.

I've tried all the "Easy magic" installers for TWRP, Philz, etc. The older ones give SoC unsupported, whereas the newer ones report being successful but, when I attempt to boot into recovery, I get a white screen for a few seconds and then the device reboots.

So now I'm trying CTR recovery through MTKDroid. I've successfully backed up my device but when trying to flash a recovery I get the following errors:

--- ERROR :No find KernelGZ

--- ERROR :No Split Boot Image

Spent the last 2 hours googling it but not found anything of use.

The device is already rooted.

You can create a ROM for you device using Flashtool in ReadBack mode.

I believe that you should create the ROM before to continue modding.

Then with a file manager with root right you should delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p that restore stock recovery.

Yeah it's rooted with Kingroot though and I'm trying to switch to SuperSU because it's more stable. I need a custom recovery so I can flash it.

I've created a backup of my ROM through MTKDroid but can't create a scatter file as my SoC is not fully supported.

Just tried deleting /system/recovery-from-boot.p as you suggested but it doesn't appear to have worked - device still just reboots when I try to enter recovery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
[MENTION=1323533]crimble[/MENTION]

As Ie xplained before please use Fòlashtool to create ROM0 file witH flashtool Readback feature.

Then now you can open it with MTKDroid and create the nandroid backup and Falshtool files.

The scatter can create via MTKdroid.

Please compress boot.img and uplaoded it. I will unlock it and you can remove Kingroot.
